detcOh come on, they don't even tell you if it's a package deal or not.

Sammy BarnathanPut a baby in boiling water and he'll jump out. Put a baby in cold water and heat it up to boiling point and he won't notice, and he'll die.

Oh no, wait, that's frogs.

This was peculiar.

Gamara IIIt's neither. Well actually I'm willing to believe most babies are too stupid to escape from harm no matter what the situation, since they'll drown in 2 inches of water. But the frog thing is a myth.

sliggyI don't know why this fills me with such glee. Maybe because even though she is surrounded by babbling retards, the baby is like "Whatever, motherfuckers. I'm gonna chill in this bath and suck on my toes!"

When my wife and I had our little boy, we somehow ended up on some mailing lists for baby registry junk, and I remember getting a booklet in the mail from Wal Mart (which we didn't even register at, so it was that much more confusing) advertising all of their baby "essentials" that we needed to be registering for people to buy for us.

Essentials? This is 50 pages of plastic junk. None of which existed 30 years ago. How the fuck did babies ever survive back then without all of this "essential" stuff?

Skip the bucket. The kid's going to outgrow it in 6 months tops. Just deal with them whining a bit when you wash them another way and spend your money on something more important.

God damn it.
